Fans of America's Next Great Restaurant (or people who followed David Rees's brilliant recaps) may want to avert their eyes, for we have sad news indeed: Soul Daddy, the concept that won the now-canceled reality show, has shuttered its New York location. The Minneapolis and Los Angeles locations are still operating(Update: Eater hears that the Los Angeles location has kicked it, too), but this closing might make it a whole lot harder to convince people that the chain is "great." At this point, we know you're all thinking the same thing we are: Bobby Flay, Curtis Stone, and the other investors should have opened a Kale City instead. [Star Tribune via Twitter]
